Digital transformation has become a popular theme across enterprises. However, companies are confronted with several challenges. In a survey done recently, two-thirds of IT investments by Japanese companies were about "running-the-business", and a very small sum was focussed on business innovation and growth.

Read this article from Nikkei XTech that analyses the IT enterprise in Japan and challenges that it faces today.

Financial services companies migrating to the cloud often need to optimize their infrastructure for innovation and agile delivery. International payments provider, OFX, accomplished this with Rackspace Fanatical Support for AWS, to successfully re-architecture its systems when its application portfolio was migrated from a colocation environment to a highly secure, compliant and scalable environment, on a managed AWS platform.

The restaurant industry is buzzing about automation. With labor costs expected to double and consumer demand for a seamless checkout experience, many restaurants are looking at technologies that can automate tasks in the front-of-house. But there are back-of-house processes that have yet to be fully automated. While auto-counting your inventory may be a thing someday, it’s not here yet.
So if you can’t automate the inventory management process, you can at least use tools that automate its more cumbersome aspects. Maximum labor output, higher levels of accuracy, and better accountability are possible with a system that automates certain tasks and enable manager productivity for on-the-job success.
After reading this eBook, you’ll know:
• The many inefficiencies generated by manual, spreadsheet-based counting methods.
• The innovations being made to inventory management technology.
• How modern, mobile inventory management tools will help your managers reduce costs and increase product

Digital business initiatives have expanded in scope and complexity as companies have increased the rate of digital innovation to capture new market opportunities. As applications built using fine-grained microservices and functions become pervasive, many companies are seeing the need to go beyond traditional API management to execute new architectural patterns and use cases.
APIs are evolving both in the way they are structured and in how they are used, to not only securely expose data to partners, but to create ecosystems of internal and/or third-party developers.
In this datasheet, learn how you can use TIBCO Cloud™ Mashery® to:
Create an internal and external developer ecosystem
Secure your data and scale distribution
Optimize and manage microservices
Expand your partner network
Run analytics on your API performance

This is the central finding of a global survey of over 550 senior executives conducted by MIT Technology Review to examine the pressures that shape their customer experience processes and the tools and strategies they employ to mitigate those challenges and continuously improve customer engagement.

It draws clear connections between IT components and business services, which is the core of Business Service Management (BSM).
